Lizards use a bait-and-catch loop on land. Search by zone and time, record each species, and keep bait ready before entering a habitat.

Quick answer
Place bait near the lizard, step away, then catch it when it commits
Carry lizard bait before leaving Utara Village. When a lizard appears, place the bait within its path, give it space, and interact once it stops to feed.
There is no equally clear in-game completion list for lizards, so track discoveries by habitat and use Lipah's dialogue or notes as a clue when a species remains.

How to catch a lizard
1
Buy or prepare bait
Confirm bait is in the usable Jungle inventory before beginning a forest or village route.
2
Approach without rushing it
Stop when the lizard reacts; chasing usually pushes it away from a clean interaction.
3
Place bait in its path
Use open ground with enough room for the lizard to turn toward the bait.
4
Back away and wait
Let the feeding animation begin, then move in and use the capture prompt.
Search every habitat, not every screen
Utara Village paths and building edges
Setah Forest vegetation and clearings
Lake approaches and damp ground
Story-unlocked routes that were blocked earlier
Different day or weather states when a habitat appears empty
Find the last missing lizard
Revisit the least-searched habitat at a different time rather than repeating the easiest village loop. Check Lipah-related dialogue, finish the current story gate, and enter every newly opened land route with bait available.
FAQ
All Lizards questions
Why can’t I catch a lizard by chasing it?
The intended loop is to lure it with bait, step away, and interact after it begins feeding.
Is there a lizard app like Insectagram?
Tracking is less explicit. A simple habitat checklist is the safest way to prevent repeated catches.
